A Rant | Stress? Anemia? Hard water? 

I experienced COVID that lasted a good 11 days. I thought I was ok but I started to notice a loss of more hair than normal. After doing some research, I am realizing it’s from the strain my body had during that time and also the shampoo that I was using. So I started doing yoga and meditation daily and changed my shampoo and conditioner to littleextraa cooconion anti hair fall kit. And today I don't face any hair fall. Thanks for this video! I feel so much more at peace.

So happy you found out what was wrong,. I hope your hair makes a full recovery!💞

I'm glad that you figured it out. We have hard water in my area also. Something else that may help is to get a filtered showerhead, between that and using a chelating shampoo once a month my hair is doing well even though I have CCCA. This is another whole issue that I'm working on with my dermatologist's help.

We bought a shower head with a filter and it was game-changing❤

I had this issue. I was totally frustrated! My hair was tangled and matted, and wouldn’t fully detangle. The shedding was epic! It was taking hours to detangle when it usually took 10-15 minutes. I tried every treatment known to woman! Nothing worked. For me, it turned out to be major product buildup from using Jamaican Black Castor Oil as my sealant. Protein treatments made it worse. Never again! 😮 I started using a clarifying shampoo, followed by a moisturizing shampoo. Deep conditioned every week. Switched to grape seed oil and started shampooing once a week vs 2-3 times per week. Most frustrating 3-4 months of my life! But here we are. Healthy, happy, thick and curly. Good luck to you. Your hair is beautiful. You are beautiful and thank you for sharing your struggle. 😊❤

I feel you. I think strong antibiotics/pain meds during my 45 day hospitalization contributed to my hair thinning. Honestly, it was devastating. But I’ve been praying about my crown and taking some remedial measures. I pray you get your desired results!

I've been going through similar issues with my hair and scalp. It's a lot to care for so I don't cause more damage. It's great you found reason and products to aid in your hair recovery. May the Lord bring your hair back full and glorious! Amen! ❤🤗

I just got my water treated so all the running water in my house is soft and it really makes a difference. My skin is incredibly soft and the water is so clean and crisp I can drink from the tap.. and surprisingly it tastes better than my bottled water.

Ever since I moved to this house a few years ago, my hair had been going crazy 😩 I’m so glad you talked about this! I tried cutting my hair because of thinning, changing my diet and taking supplements, but my hair never got back to how it used to. I figured it was hard water, so I bought a filter for my shower head. Idk if it’s the best, but you mentioning pH strips will definitely help me to determine that! I’m going to to the hard water packet and shampoo you shown. I hope your hair recovery journey goes well. I’m right here with you!

Also , sometimes if you're allergic to something, like a food could make your hair shed as well. You would have to monitor what you're intaking in your body. Also , not sure if you do already , but drink alot of water, eat fruits , and vegetables. THis is if you do not already . I found these even besides the hard water that my intake of certain foods affect my hair shedding and growth . Hope that helps !

This is literally my story. I now see a hematologist, I take Iron and chlorophyll. And drink a lot of water. I chose to just cut mines off, because it was everywhere.

Girl the hard water is no joke can be damaging! Washing your hair with distilled water is too much work, just wash it and condition like normal and then when styling spritz your hair with distilled water and apply your styling products. Don’t cut your hair, it’s just dry from the water that’s all. My hair was behaving very similar but I just spritz my hair with it including daily. Keeps your scalp clean too. Spritzing with distilled water does remove the mineral and calcium from hard water including if used daily

Recently discovered your channel, love your personality 😊 & SO happy you found the cause /solution! 🎉❤

Thank you for your transparency. I’m glad you found a solution to your hair thinning. I’ve always loved your hair videos. Continued success to you! ♥️

Glad you were able to find the root cause. I had the same exact thing happen to me with hard water. I bought a shower filter and used a hard water shampoo. It took 1.5 month for my hair to get back to normal. I also experienced thinning due to stress and my hair wasn’t growing back. I started taking a DHT blocker off of Amazon by the brand advanced trichology and my hair started growing in thicker and stronger. Even my stylist noticed and I had bald patches throughout my head. Hope your hair grows back and thrives I know how hard something like this can be. 💕💕

Do have a shower filter that's what I utilize to combat hard water. I understand you, I have experienced a similar situation. Continue with iron vitamin D3+K2, multivitamins, and shower filter.

I pray all is well with you, i totally understand I’m on a setback with my hair as well! We will make it through this! ❤❤❤

I'm going through this at the moment and also have been dealing with significant hair thinning since 2021. I've bought a shower head filter but the water is so hard where I live, it's welded the old shower head on I'm not strong enough to remove it. Now I've seen this video I'm determined to get this filter on and increase my iron intake. Thanks for helping me feel not quite so alone and I hope you see great improvements 🙏🏾

Just wanted to give this tip. My daughters have really long hair as well so I no longer wash loose hair. After the pre pop I only wash and condition her hair in plaits ( not too tight thought). Then I blow dry or style from each plait while the others stay stretched. This has cut down the time drastically!

Thank you for this video! I never would’ve thought it was the hard water. I think the water in my area is hard as well. Please continue to keep making these informative videos. You are the beat!!

That's your crown girl glad you didn't cut it ! not that there's anything wrong with it . quote from a famous New Yorker 😅 and please don't be embarrassed you may have helped me to find the answer to my thinning tresses H20 is notoriously hard here in northern California 😬

Ive missed ur videos and im glad u figured everything out. I wish u the best

I'm so sorry you had to go through this...... I watched some of your videos in the past and I really liked. Your hair will recovery. I have faith...remember God spoke, He directed

Blackseed and fenugreek oils or deep condition with the powder itself it helps for me I hardly shed hair anymore,. And I've been moisturizing almost daily to retain lenght

Happy for you and you were missed ❤

Your hair is beautiful, you helped me take care of my hair even better ❤❤🎉

My hair broke off in 2020 after I grew it so long and beautiful. Didn’t know why that was but then got diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency iron deficiency folic acid deficiency and magnesium deficiency all of these together breaks off my hair

If I use oil on my hair my scalp hurts. Also try the elizavecca cer 100 collagen ceramide coating treatment

Yeah it’s biblical for a woman to not shave off her hair. Because it is her glory, a women should never cut off her glory.

Honest video 🥺 It's seems like a demarcation of your hair is thicker than the lower part Thank you Lord for answering her prayers 🤎

The twists themselves are what's killing your hair. You need a new protective style and you have to switch up the protective styles. Get some Aphogee, good light moisturizer and keep your hair in a satin bun and 2 braids for 3 months. Trust me.

Wow. I just watched the whole video and girl.... 👀 , I went through the same exact thing. Wow. It's bringing me bk. I just made a post so you can see my before hair and my now hair😢. It's so sad but it got aloooottt better. I use 6 gallons of water. I bought a big black bucket from Amazon and wash my hair in the tub now because I miss washing my hair in the tub. Long story lol. I will make a current video updaing everyone on my new hair, post well water routine and me growing out my hair. Stay tuned! 😉

I live in Florida. Hard water is definitely a problem. I use cocaknotz hair products. She has a RU-vid channel (cocaknotz) and she talks about using her products to help with hard water. I love her products.

I'm so sorry to hear what you are going through. Webbing? That would drive me nuts.

I am new here. I live in the Netherlands and we have hard water here too. Maybe this will sound weird, I went to Curaçao for two weeks with braids in my hair. I went swimming in salt water in the blue beautiful oceans there. One time I dipped my whole body from head to toe in it. I washed my hair the next day and took care of it with grease al over my strands of hair. Normally I would have washed it the same day but, it became to late and I didn't want to sleep with wet hair. When I came back to the Netherlands I instantly bought a water filter, because the sun, sea and shower water there are not hard and it made my skin feel very soft. I took out my braids, detangled and I washed them. I was shocked, because of how soft and manageable my hair was. I think the sea took out all the hard water out of my hair and gave it a type of detox I guess. If you want you can try it. You can also imitate it with distilled water and add seasalt in it. If you are in doubt, you can try a little section to see what will happen. Hope this works wonders on you hair too. Love your video's and I love that you are transparent, your can't do everything on your own. Asking for advice or help should not have to be an issue. Sorry for my long story tried I to explain my experience the best as possible😊❤️

Girl, welcome to the hard water club. I am a youtuber as well and I was documenting my hair loss journey and associated it with me stress shedding but I was wrong! I was loosing hair because of my water. Now I use distilled water. 6 gallons of water. It's on my channel so you can take a look. Good luck girl! It's been 2 going on 3 yrs and I am still growing out my hair. It got a lot better though so keep hope alive! 😊❤️ O and everything you used, I used. I still use distilled water till this day and I invested in a portable shampoo bowl (I am also a hair dresser so I had no choice) but if you need advice, please feel free to ask. I get it girl.

I use. Malibu swimmer conditioner

Hey hun, maybe you could wash your hair in twist all through instead of taking it out and washing loose. I think the hair tangles way easier & faster with hard water when it is loose

If you don't get the results you are looking for, I would strongly urge you to see a dermatologist and or a Trichologist. My sister had similar problems, if it is something similar you will need to act quickly in order to stop or at least slow the progression. I hope everything works out in your favor. God bless.

have you tried seamoss gel n moringa Powder. As you get sometimes you need more supplements to help internally. I went from bra strap to waist length with those supplements. have you tried bentonite clay treatments??? I make my own products I'll do a bentonite clay and deep condition with my herbal sheabutter

Damn Im sending you lots of love bc ive been dealing w long term hairloss on and off since beginning of 2020 too, and even tho it may have been for diff reasons the pain and frustration of the result is the same, I feel so seen rn like wow I know you were anxious af but THANK YOU for this video. Excessive hair tangling is a THING. And I cope w my bald spots by using a dark eyeshadow powder lol. I have 3b/c low porosity, fine to medium strands. Some products that have helped mitigate tangling have been the Mielle babassu and mint deep conditioner, its less effective on my hair now idk why, but when I first started using it literally would melt my tangles away, the Oyin Handmade hair dew leave in conditioner, really softens my hair but is a bit on the heavy side so use sparingly if youre sensitive to oils in your products, and Amazinghairsaviour scalp oil that helps with the baldspots. I hope this helps someone

plz try revair for a video

Does a filter help with hard water too? 😮

Invest in a shower head filter.

have you looked into ayurvedic herbs? hennasooq has amazing natural products to save hair! also clove water helps too!

I use sulfur 8 light grease to fight against my deficiency and anemia. Even when I stress, a lot of hair doesn’t come out like it used to. The grease helps to thicken up my hair
